According to the Anti-Federalists, a too-strong national government posed a threat to individual liberties and states' rights. They feared that centralization of power would lead to tyranny, undermining the autonomy of states and the freedoms of citizens. Anti-Federalists advocated for a Bill of Rights to protect personal freedoms and emphasized the importance of a more decentralized government structure that would better represent local interests.
